AI for Turvo. Triaged along the keel.
Turvo runs your brokerage on a collaborative, API-first TMS. Keelway sits on top of it — reading every carrier email on a Turvo-posted load, extracting the rate, scoring trust against FMCSA, and calling Turvo's API to write the accepted carrier + rate back the moment you pick.
Why Turvo brokerages still need an email triage layer
Turvo's big bet is that freight works better when broker, carrier, and shipper all collaborate on the same shipment record. That bet pays off after a carrier is booked — status updates, exceptions, and shipper visibility all flow through Turvo's collaborative UI cleanly.
Before the carrier is booked, though, most brokers are still triaging 30–50 email replies to a posted load. Those replies come from carriers outside the Turvo network — the ones who saw your DAT or Truckstop posting and responded to your broker email. Keelway closes that gap and hands off cleanly to Turvo the moment you accept.

Frequently asked questions
What is Turvo?+
Turvo is a modern, API-first collaborative TMS for freight brokerages, 3PLs, and shippers. It supports multi-party workflows — broker, carrier, and shipper all on one platform — and ships a well-documented public API that Keelway integrates directly against.
How does Keelway integrate with Turvo?+
Keelway connects via Turvo's public API (authenticated with a service token) and to your broker inbox via Gmail OAuth. When Turvo posts a load, Keelway reads inbound carrier replies, extracts rates, runs FMCSA trust scoring, and surfaces the ranked top five. Once you accept a quote, Keelway calls Turvo's shipment and carrier endpoints to write back the carrier + agreed rate.
Does Keelway replace Turvo's collaboration features?+
No. Turvo's multi-party shipment visibility and shared dashboards stay intact. Keelway only handles the broker-side inbox triage — the stage before you commit a carrier to a Turvo shipment — and cleanly hands off to Turvo's collaborative workflow once a quote is accepted.
We use Turvo's carrier network and load-board integrations — will Keelway still add value?+
Yes. Turvo's carrier network is strong for capacity sourcing, but a posted load still attracts replies from outside the Turvo network via the load boards. That outbound-to-inbound gap — email replies from carriers who are not yet in Turvo — is exactly where Keelway earns its keep.
Can Keelway catch double-brokering before we book?+
Yes. Every inbound carrier reply is checked for email-domain match against the carrier's FMCSA-registered contact, MC/DOT authority state, and insurance ownership. Suspicious quotes are flagged on the ranked list and written back to Turvo as a carrier-record note before you commit.
What does Keelway cost on top of Turvo?+
Per-broker seat, billed monthly, no per-email charges. Firm numbers on the first demo call.
